Answer:

B. Divergent

Explanation:

Rift valleys are usually formed at divergent margins where fractures in the earth's crust widens.

The fracture widens due the pulling apart of the plates that are involved.

  • Most rift valleys are located within the continental crust.
  • One of the prominent rift margins in the world is the East Africa rift valley system.
  • This creates a crack within the earth that continues to grow as the separation continues.
